Gaia Green Tea Bags Assorted Pack Product Review

S&S Partners · June 29, 2016 · 4 Comments

Okay, here is an interesting question for you to answer. What is the first thing you like to do right after you wake up? Exercise, stretch, make lemon water, fix your coffee pot, check your mails or just fall back to bed. What do I do? Neither of the above. I fix my green tea using Gaia Green Tea bags. Simple and easy!

Once upon a time, I had this cute and easy borosil tea maker which I used to make my green tea. It had a separate tea strainer in which green tea leaves could be placed and infused. And, then, my maid broke it so now I use it to pot flowers which makes it equally useful. But now I am left without a convenient container to make my green tea.

So, when I got these green tea bags, I started brewing green tea again without the hassle of using two or more containers. And, I am back on the healthy beverage wagon. Now, did you know that brewing green tea is an art. The water temperature must be exactly right and infusion must not be more than two minutes.

Forest Essentials Silken Dusting/Talcum Powder Product Review

Swathy · June 24, 2016 · 1 Comment

This talcum powder has to be one of the star products from Forest Essentials. I had to get this for my other half. Mr. P. just loves deodorants and I got him off them with a lot of difficulty so I had to compensate somehow.

The first time I got this (in February), I got Nargis fragrance which is too floral for males. This time I got the Oudh and Green Tea which is soothing and masculine enough.

Fragrance and Product Texture

The product comes in four different fragrances. I have tried only Nargis and Green Tea.

In my opinion, Nargis is too floral and strong and lingers everywhere till almost the next day. It will be bothersome for delicate noses. Where as, Oudh and Green Tea is perfect for everyone, male and female. With subtle and not overpowering fragrance, it is a delight to use. The scent also does not linger long unless you get too close to the subject.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil Product Review

Swathy · June 22, 2016 · 10 Comments

I was so excited for Oils of Life that I got it the first day of its release. Yeah, the advertising works 🙂 And, I have been using it on and off for almost six months now (got it in November). I am nearing the end of the bottle so decided it is time to review it. So, let me start.

Skin Type, Fragrance and Texture

I think it would suit all skin types. The texture of the oil is not heavy on skin, gets absorbed in a jiffy and has cumin oil which would, according to me, sit well on oily and combination skin.

The oil is colourless and smells awesome. It has the subtle cumin smell which is amazing and soothing for my nerves. It helps me calm down and does not linger long either.
